History
Corona is the closest populated community to a purported UFO crash in 1947, approximately to the southeast. The rancher who found the crash first came to Corona to report it to a few residents, before going to Roswell to tell officials there. The highest point on the route of the famed Golden State passenger train, operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad, was just south of Corona. In 2004, Corona was the site of a forest fire, begun when an unknown arsonist lit a pile of pine needles.
